The Arctic Island Empire of Waftoia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Wj Ilokhich LXXIII with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.084 billion Noble Wafto Citizens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hofpoggokuj. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.9%.

The thriving Wafto economy, worth 76.7 trillion Wafto Dollars a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Tourism, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,776 Wafto Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 274,222 per year while the poor average 12,519, a ratio of 21.9 to 1.

You can call your arthritic immigrant neighbour for all your roof-tiling and guttering needs, Catholicism has been named as Waftoia's national religion, small children are frequently chased by rehabilitated pitbulls, and people spend a lot on hair and nails. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waftoia's national animal is the Walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Waftoia is ranked 73,013^th in the world and 680^th in Europe for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,545.04 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
